On draft picks making the team.
It's not unusual for the majority of picks to make a team in year 1.
In 2012, out of 10 picks, 2 didn't make the team that year. Now 4 are still in the league, which is 40%...and that's pretty good drafting. In 2014, out of 11, 3 didn;t make the team that year. Now 4 are still in the league. That's 36%, which verges on the cut off for pretty good drafting (40%).
Look at 2017. With that draft, 1 didn't make the team. Now, out of 8, 6 remain. Kupp, Johnson, and Ebukam are starters. We don;t know about the other 3 yet (Everett, Reynolds, and Smart). We really don't even know about Ebukam yet. Kupp and Johnson are finds. If Ebukam makes it and sticks, that will be at least 3 out of 8, which is 37.5%, and that's close to the cut off for pretty good drafting (40%). We don't know yet what we will think of that draft after this season.
This year so far it looks like Noteboom, Franklin-Myers, and Kelly are
at a minimum good players. Guys with a chance include Allen, Kiser, Oko, and Joseph. To be a pretty good to good draft you need at least 4-5 guys to make it and I mean make it past year 1.
